Chinese Autism Awareness Center (CAAC) is a federally registered non-profit organization established in 2017. CAAC is committed to providing support services to autistic individuals and their families within the Chinese-Canadian community, assisting them in the treatment, rehabilitation, integration into society, promoting their physical and mental well-being and development, and improving the quality of family life.
NorthStar Special Needs Society (NSNS) is a non-profit organization established in 2021. The purpose of NSNS is to serve children with special needs, primarily autism, and their families. By participating in various sports activities organized by NSNS, children can improve their physical and mental well-being and development, thereby helping them to eventually integrate smoothly into society in the future.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year and strengthen mutual care and support for autistic families, CAAC and NSNS will jointly host a Lunar New Year Family Gathering Party. We will be inviting teachers from the public and private education systems, and family service agencies to meet and communicate with autistic families.
The party will be held at the Oakview Terrace Reception Centre, 13256 Leslie Street, Richmond Hill, ON L4E 1A2 on February 24, 2024 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please check the attached flyer and agenda.
We would like to invite Chinese-Canadian families with individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and enthusiasts from our local communities to our Chinese Lunar New Year Gathering Party.
